The opening three-pointer in basketball

Rondo is only 1.88 meters tall and his defense is above average.

He played an indispensable role when the Celtics won the league championship before.

But top defenders like Tony Allen can't keep up with Bai Yi, let alone Rondo.

After he added burst, it started faster.

He didn't even need to fake or cover up, he just did it directly. It was so direct and simple, and the opponent couldn't guard against it.

The same was true at this time, Bai Yi shot a three-pointer directly.

He didn't use the full three-pointer, and planned to use his normal skills to hold off the opponent first.

The basketball flew up, crossed an arc, and flew into the net.

The ball went in.

Rondo was stunned, Bai Yi shot too quickly.

Before he could react, Bai Yi had already shot the ball.

By the time he came to his senses, the basketball had already flown into the net.

This is a bit difficult.

Before the game, Rivers asked Rondo if he could guard Bai Yi. Rondo felt that Bai Yi, a rookie, was indeed very powerful.

But that's because the defender is too polite and elegant. If he is allowed to defend, he will definitely put real defensive pressure on Bai Yi.

He could embarrass the rookie.

The result now is this.

With the shooting speed that Bai Yi showed just now, even if Rondo had the means, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Rivers stood on the sidelines, watching coach Rondo act like a wooden stake in front of Bai Yi, and he was a little helpless.

I didn't expect this result.

Rondo is not a rookie. His defense is absolutely elite and he is highly motivated. He is willing to keep running on the court.

When the Celtics played against other teams before, whether it was against Westbrook or Rose, Rondo was the main defender.

But when facing explosive players like Westbrook Ross before, Rondo didn't look so embarrassed.

Rivers realized that Bai Yi's style of play didn't look as explosive as Rose Westbrook's.

But Bai Yi's three-point shot is more accurate and more lethal.

So should we arrange for others to come over now?

Rivers thought for a while, but gave up. He planned to see if Rondo could keep up with Bai Yi's offensive speed.

A moment later, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again, and the basketball came into Bai Yi's hands.

Garnett shouted under the basket, "Coward, you have the ability to rush to the basket! Are you still a man? Why do you have to escape? You have the guts to rush to the basket."

"Are you a woman? Do you want to go to WNBA?"

This guy really has a way of trolling people.

If it were anyone else, even if his mentality was not broken, he would probably be in a state of agitation and want to quarrel with Garnett, right?

But Bai Yi is not an ordinary person. He has been born in two lifetimes, and he knows very well what is the most important thing.

He just wants to score points and win now. As for other things, he doesn't care.

Rondo was stunned.

Bai Yi is so calm, is he really a rookie?

It's the same veteran guy who comes here wearing the skin of a rookie.

It was very fun when Garnett used to troll people like this. The opponent might explode or be silent, and there would definitely be ups and downs in mentality.

But Bai Yi really seemed like an outsider, his expression unchanged.

Bai Yi didn't know what Rondo was thinking. He patted the basketball and then raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball flew up again, drew an arc, and entered the frame hollowly.

He still didn't use the full three-pointer, it was still just a normal skill.

Entered again.

Bai Yi was a little surprised. It seemed that his three-pointer today was good.

The game continued, and Bai Yi never used three-pointers. He just relied on ordinary skills and kept shooting baskets.

The effect was good, but as for the Celtics, they kept scoring because the Timberwolves couldn't defend them at all.

They don't dare to take advantage of others, but Billis, Love, or Rubio are all their targets.

Pierce, Ray Allen, and Garnett are inherently offensive masters.

Under such circumstances, the two teams increased their points very quickly.

The first quarter lasted six minutes, and the two teams scored a total of 34 points. The Timberwolves led the Celtics 18:16, taking a slight lead by two points.

Bai Yi already had three three-pointers and scored nine points.

The on-site DJ no longer dared to tease Bai Yi.

"Defense, we can't let Bai score easily. We must defend tightly."

"Rondo can't do it alone. In previous games with the Timberwolves, they used to attack from both sides. We also have to attack from both sides."

"Oh, we are a Big Three team, we can't lose to a rookie."

DJ became more and more excited as he talked, and he even couldn't help but want to curse.

There was no way, how could the Celtics lose to a rookie? As the most ardent fan of the Celtics, he felt that this was a shame for the Celtics.

"Rivers, look at it with your eyes wide open, adjust well, and adjust quickly."

Rivers looked at the players on the court and felt a little depressed.

However, he did not adjust. The reason is very simple, that is, the point difference between the two teams has not widened yet.

Baiyi is indeed very fierce, but they are not weak either. They can score points in almost every attack.

Lao Li is a master of chicken soup. When the team is in trouble, he may not be able to support the team in terms of tactics, but he can definitely make the players' mental state better.

Now only two points behind, he feels no need to adjust.

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neal frowned, "What are the Celtics doing? It's so easy to score for nothing."

"Compared to the previous two games where we lost to the Spurs and Thunder, their defensive intensity was much higher."

"Although Bai got high scores, the rest of the Timberwolves couldn't do it at all."

"But now, Bai shoots the ball very easily, and so does everyone else."

"The Celtics no longer have the iron-blooded defense they used to have."

Kenny Smith nodded, "Fat man, don't you understand? This is the Celtics' routine. Because the Big Three are older, their defense will be much laxer."

"In the second half, they will suddenly increase their intensity. For seven or eight minutes, or one quarter, they will become the best defensive team in the league."

"Then take the opportunity to open up the score."

Barkley nodded, "Yes, now it depends on whether the Timberwolves can withstand it."

At the North Shore Garden Stadium, the first quarter of the game is over. The two teams are tied, Timberwolves 31:31 Celtics.

Bai Yi didn't even use three-pointers in the first quarter. He just had ordinary three-point skills, but his shooting rate was not low. He was in good condition today.

Adelman came to Bai Yi and said, "Bai, we need to open up the score. Otherwise, when the Celtics suddenly increase their defensive intensity in the second half, it will be much more difficult for us."

"You may not be affected, but other people will be completely locked out."

He felt that Bai Yi did not exert his full strength in the first quarter.

The Celtics were paddling, and Bai Yi was paddling too.

But he hopes that Bai Yi can break out next and establish his advantage as soon as possible.

Bai Yi understood what Adelman meant, and he nodded, "No problem, leave it to me."
